SINGING ROCK athlete Dejan Koren made the first ascent of three new mixed climbs on the North Face of Travnik in Valle Lavina (Laghi di Fusine, Tarvisio, Italy) during this European winter season.The three new lines are extensions of the existing Spada di Damocle route made by Sergio Serra and Tullio Ferluga in winter 1981.
